Event Details

Join us to learn more about The Speech Garden Institute's brand new communication and sensory preschool!

Continuing our tradition of classroom-based communication therapy, The Speech Garden Institute now offers an intensive preschool program to prepare children for Kindergarten. Two class options are available:

Children ages 3 and four learn in small classes, lead by a speech-language pathologist. Our preschool has a heavy focus on sensory needs, with much learning occurring outside and in other sensory environments. Our program runs three half-days, with one day each week devoted to 'Community Based Instruction'- therapy out and about in our community.

Our Traditional Kindergarten focuses on preparing children for admission to kindergarten in a typical classroom with little or no extra support. This class meets five half-days. This class is also led by a certified SLP with a heavy focus on sensory needs. One day each week will be 'out and about' - therapy in the community.

We are sure that you have many questions (and perhaps some requests), and we are happy to answer them.

Our core beliefs and how they drive our program objectives.

How we address communication and sensory delays in the classroom setting.
